2024 BYD Seal Review
The BYD Seal is an electric mid-size sedan that continues to garner attention and significant following in Kenya owing to its sleek & futuristic design, exhilarating performance, and decent range. Arguably enough, it is the best-looking electric vehicle ever made. Its competitive pricing sets it apart from the Tesla Model 3, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, BMW i4, Volvo XC40 Recharge, and Volkswagen ID.7. As much as technology and modernity are highly prioritized, safety remains paramount. Its only drawback is the overly intrusive driver-assist features which can be hectic sometimes.
